Does anyone on here use the Bowflex or the Crossbow?.Can you use 1 of those with the progams on this site?.I ask cuz i have the Crossbow and wondered if anyone else is using it or Bowflex.If anyone is have you gotten pretty good results with it?.


I have some workout prgorams for the bowflex i downloaded off their site.I planned on using them with my crossbow,since they are both pretty much the same.But im not sure if those are good programs or not.So i might post a couple of them on here after while,and let some of you pros look at them,maybe you could help me out with understanding how to do them.

As far as i know they have "64 health club quality excercises on it"lol Any ways i have "played" with them in sears and stuff, and they looked good, as for wich is better i don't know......just remember the excercises and range of motion is a tad different on those, more like workingout with bands or chains. So lighten the weight on it a lil bit. You should be able to do most excercises on it. Some you can't do squats or lat pull downs depending on which model you got.

I use the Crossbow and have gotten great results. I would use the FT routine and modify the exercises. You should have gotten a video or poster with the Crossbow that will help you out.
